December Highlights

We kicked off the Christmas season by finding the perfect tree (actually this was in November). We went over a river and through the woods to an awesome tree farm in the most beautiful, picturesque setting. There were Christmas trees as far as the eyes could see. It was cold but it was a beautiful sunny Saturday, unlike the following couple of Saturdays. We were glad we got our tree early. We saw Santa, had a wagon ride up to the trees, and had pit beef sandwiches (that was Carolyn's favorite part). To top it all off, we had a coupon for our tree. Leave it to me to buy a Christmas tree with a coupon. :)


Audrey's preschool had their annual Christmas show. It really should have been called The Audrey Show. She was the only one who did any singing or dancing. And may I say, she was AWESOME. She is going to be famous someday.


We had a blizzard. Almost two feet of snow. The big girls loved it. Emma was not a fan. I was so sore from all the shoveling. I used a kid shovel while Greg used the big shovel. We now have two big shovels.


Greg's parents and his brother's family spent four days with us for Christmas. We scaled back a little this year with the presents but I don't think the kids really noticed. We had a fun Christmas morning.
